Etsy to the rescue
Good news: the marble magnets were sent to the lucky winner the very next day! It felt great to shove that off the old to do list. Because I love etsy and I was so late sending off the prize, I asked the recipient to pick something from an etsy site of her choice that I could have sent to her as a “Sorry I’m a terrible procrastinator” gift. The beauty of this plan was that I didn’t have to be responsible for ensuring it reached her in any amount of time! These etsy shop owners are pros at this sort of thing.
I decided to browse etsy too and see what I could get myself. So far I’ve just been looking and drooling over on etsy:
Art Under Glass
This crafter makes soldered pendants and each piece has a scrapbook/collage look to it that has completely charmed me. She can put any image you want under glass, or you can go with one of her own designs. I’m rather partial to the pendant below, mostly because of the poppies (I hope it’s ok for me to borrow a picture from the site):

Lisa’s Pieces
I’m a big silver jewelry fan and I’m forever doodling spirals so this site that creates (among other things) spiral shaped pendants with inspiring messages on them was an instant fave. You can even choose the words you want to have stamped on to your pendant. Since hearing that it was Gandhi who said that we must be the change we want to see in the world, I’ve been hooked on those words.

In the end it was the monogrammed aprons offered at Pink Chameleon that caught the eye of my prize winner. With a move to my own place imminent, I must keep an eye out for a cute apron for me too. If only the donning of an apron would give you super cooking powers, and work in the same fashion that capes do.
